In stem MYMASTERS right now, going to start interviewing for full time roles in fall. Want to market myself as strong C++ developer and apply to quant finance shops, big 4 etc.

Plan to do a few hundred leetcode problems this summer as well as read up on c++11/14 stuff. Bought a copy of algorithm design manual recently, but idk how digestable it is. Also may cop Effective Modern C++ by scott meyers.

Also considering Interview cake, or doing problems on hackerrank, codeforces, etc

Any advice for how to prioritize all this stuff over the next 6 months? thank

waste of time, most interview questions are on algorithms. memorizing the language spec won't help you much. if you're that kind of guy though, you better be able to cite chapter and verse to settle any obscure questions. most teams have a very, very limited use for that type of guy, and try to avoid getting into those nasty areas of the language to begin with.

Meyers' book is decent though, and worth reading.

FWIW I do work for a major algo/quant firm (think Tower, etc.) and we don't ask language questions beyond basics like "what's a virtual function?" "what are common use cases for templates?" "what does mutable mean?" "what is const correctness?"

in reality IQ and not being a dickhead are all that matters, hence the algo questions.

Companies like bloomberg and nvidia are notorious for asking c++ language specific stuff.

What do you recommend for preparing for algo questions?

what the above guy said

C++ is impossible to retain if you aren't using it very frequently. just do as many interview questions as possible in it, and in particular writing data structures (post on codereview at stackexchange if you want feedback, especially as it pertains to writing "modern" C++; indians on question/interview sites tend to just write garbage C-style). I knew it half decently only a year ago and it looks like latin to me now.
